After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

I want to see the following: On the Road, Life of Pi, Wuthering Heights, Lincoln, Stoker, Cloud Atlas, The Great Gatsby, Anna Karenina and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I've never been so excited about so many movies coming out one after the other.

I love Mia Wasikowska. I didn't know her as Alice in the Tim Burton travesty but I loved her character that she played in the first season of In Treatment.

In Treatment was an HBO show following a psychiatrist's sessions with his patients. There are always 5 different patients a season and it shows everyone's first week, then second etc... (The seasons are really long for this reason)

Anyway, back to my point. Mia was one of his patients as a 16 year old gymnast with daddy issues.

Wow. So there really were the same episodes and stories. We had the same tv show two years ago (only the first season), and I've heard it had the same characters and everything as the Israeli (the original) and the American ones. I guess that's true.

I watched Absentia, which I thought was great but fizzled towards the end. Then Lovely Molly, which was very similar in tone, kind of sulky horror movie tone, which was only okay overall but had some great moments. (Spoiler, Molly isn't lovely at all!)

Mia was also pretty good in Restless.

Yeah. I thought that was strange. I wondered how the versions differed.

I just got back from seeing Perks. It was really wonderful. Makes you laugh one second, cry the next. They left out a lot of the subplots, but the ones pivotal to the main story stayed in.

I felt like such a hipster, because I felt cooler than everyone else in the theater because I kept on seeing not only places I recognized, but places I've been. And I took a lot of chances to point them out (That's Kings Family Restaurant: the place where my brother had his first job when he was 15).

It was a packed theater. We tried to get an earlier show but that was sold out before we could get tickets. It worked out though, because we got ice cream before the show, which was an hour and a half later.

I wish in Collateral he didn't botch the first hit, so the whole movie would have been a friendly cab man obliviously driving a friendly suit man around the city all night, holding casual conversation between stops, never knowing he's helping a stranger kill people. They stop for coffee, pick each other's brains and get acquainted to the point where Jamie Fox says, "Hey, ya know what? You are my very last customer! After tonight, I am quitting this dead end job and starting that limo business I've always wanted!" And Tom Cruise says, "That's the spirit!"
Then it ends with him dropping the hitman off at the airport, just as originally planned...and after an emotional departure from the bestest passenger he's ever had, he gravely tells his boss off over the radio and quits his job. But then on his way out, the driver is suddenly boxed in by a barrage of police cars, much to his bewilderment, while the plane flies away and we see Tom Cruise sitting in first class with a martini LAUGHING. Then credits roll.

I went and saw Looper tonight by myself (as I do with most movies(no one I know appreciates cinema as much as a do)) and I loved it. However at one point in the movie some guy sitting near me guessed out loud an important plot point right before it happened. It took all of my will power not to get up and punch him in the face.

Good movie but too many plot holes for me to consider it great. For instance, why was that one woman his favorite stripper? She was so flat chested.
